Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Rubrik's subscription revenue rose 55% year over year to $297M in fiscal Q2 2026.
Subscription ARR surpassed $1.25B, up 36%, with strong customer growth above $100K ARR.
Cloud ARR climbed 57% to $1.1B, boosted by Rubrik Security Cloud adoption and new offerings.
Rubrik (RBRK - Free Report) is benefiting from strong growth in subscription revenue, which reached $297 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, marking a 55% year-over-year increase. This growth is driven by the company’s focus on cyber resilience and its ability to deliver advanced solutions across data security, identity recovery and cloud protection.
The company’s subscription Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) surpassed $1.25 billion, increasing 36% year over year, with $71 million in net new subscription ARR added in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This growth reflects Rubrik’s success in expanding its customer base and deepening its footprint within existing accounts. Customers with more than $100K in subscription ARR grew 27% year over year, reaching 2,505, and now contribute 85% of total subscription ARR.
Rubrik’s focus on cloud-based solutions has also bolstered subscription revenue. Cloud ARR grew 57% year over year to $1.1 billion, driven by the adoption of Rubrik Security Cloud.
Rubrik’s expanding portfolio has been a major growth driver of its success. In July 2025, Rubrik announced expanded immutability for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and comprehensive protection for Amazon DynamoDB, reinforcing its leadership in cloud data protection.
Further expanding its portfolio, the company in September announced the launch of Rubrik Okta Recovery at Oktane 2025, providing automated, immutable backups and granular, in-place recovery for Okta Identity Provider environments. This solution extends Rubrik’s identity protection beyond Active Directory and Entra ID, enabling organizations to quickly recover critical identity data and configurations.
Rubrik Faces Stiff Competition
Rubrik’s competitive position is under pressure from various data management and protection vendors, including Commvault (CVLT - Free Report) and International Business Machines (IBM - Free Report) .
In September, Commvault announced the launch of Clumio for Apache Iceberg on AWS, the industry’s first Iceberg-aware, air-gapped cyber resilience solution. This innovation by Commvault enables fast, consistent recovery of AI and analytics workloads while enhancing data lakehouse protection, compliance, and cost efficiency.
International Business Machines’ growth is expected to be driven primarily by analytics, cloud computing, and security in the long run. In July 2025, International Business Machines’ subsidiary Neudesic announced that it had renewed its Cloud Security Specialization with Microsoft Corporation. This renewal aims to keep providing strong security solutions for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
